Tibco unveils governance tools

Tibco has released a -oriented architecture (SOA) solution, reports Ajax World Magazine.

The solution comprises Tibco ActiveMatrix Registry and Tibco ActiveMatrix Policy Manager. The new products are designed to reduce risk and complexity around the common challenges associated with adopting SOA - including defining appropriate services, managing the lifecycle of service assets, and measuring effectiveness.

"The reality is that companies transitioning to an SOA need to start thinking about IT governance more seriously. It will help to establish chains of responsibility, authority and communication between lines of business, eliminating confusion and uncertainty," said Matt Quinn, VP, product management and strategy.
